| About books
 Give attendance to reading. St. Paul
 At this day, as much company as | have kept. and as much as | love it, l love read l ing better. would rather be employed 1 in reading than in the most agreeable con- versation. Pope.
 A taste for books is the pleasure and glory of my life. It is taste which would not exchange for the wealth of the Indias The miseries of vacant life are never known to man whose hours are in sufficient for the inexhaustible pleasure of study. -Gibbon.
 Books are the immortal sons deifying their sireS. Plato.
 Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge - Proverbs 23.12.
 Employ your time in improving your- self by other mems writings so you shall come easily by what others have labored hard for. Prefer knowledge to wealth, for the one is transitory, the other perpet- nal-S Socrates. ss x
 We ought to regard books as we do sweetmeats, not wholly to aim at the pleasantest, but chiefly to respect the wholesomest; not forbidding either, but approving the latter most. .-Plutarch.
 1dHk-1O l6Ek Of bW1tcLs ubt u HI tQ1S sense in the United States only. It is in elegant.
 Want to know l-Tbis expression, ,gwhen used i'll an exclamatofy sense, often causes much amusement to the srelator of an event. When he is endeavoring to relate facts to the minutest detail he is interrupt ed, frequently with the exclamation, ss Want to ka0a0t''-want to know At the same time the narrator is exercising his best talents to select the most express i've words to make the incident clear, not withstanding all of this choice of words and forceful sentences he hears at end of nearly every sentence Waast to k1sos0! It cannot be an interrogative sentence, for the narrator Is stating iust what the list ener sUQssts to kgaoaV, hence the expression, as an interrogative is meaningless. In fact, the sentence may be termed useless and unnecessary at any time.
 Writing. The earliest known mention of writing is in Exodus 16:14, where Moses is commanded to "write this for a memorial in a book. s-sta5s.a .sg
 White feather-''To show the white feather" is synonymous with "to show cowardice The proverbial expression arose from the circumstance that a white feather in the tail of game-cock is cer- tain sign that he is not a thoroughbred.
 Prove from scripture that it is the duty of the church to support it's ministers. = See 1st Cor. g: 14-Gal. 6:6.
 Where in the Bible is recorded that fever and ague were inflicted as punishments See Leviticus 26:16.

Chicago Mail: A good many men do not know how to wear watches and watch chains. It used 10 be the fashion to wear the timepiece in the vest pocket and droop the chain artistioally along over the stomach to the nearest vest button. From that, fashion decreed little advance, aud the chain from the nearest vest but ton was carried along in graceful festoon to the fartherest vest pocket All this has passed away now, and the style now IS for tue masculine vest front to be unadorned. \ watch must now be worn in the pistol pocket and the chain coiled up in the near est pants pocket. This is the only proper hing The style is English, If a man wants to be correct he must wear his watch chain in this way, and use colored shirts with white collars aud cuffs. If he does these things he will find that whenever he goes into billiard room aud takes of his cuat he will hear buzz of unanimous ad- miration. It is only when man has his 0 ,at off nowadays that it is possible to tell whether his watch is in bis pocket or at his "uncle's"

An Irish gentleman staYing at the Fifkl

The eminent oculist-whose name might as well be Moriarty as anything else-had just t kan ont the eyes of a woman to clean, and placed them on sancer while engaged with the sockets, whel. unfortu- nately, they we're bounced upon by a fav- orite cst.and swallowed. But the oculist did not lose his presence of mind. He seized the catsa11d before you c,nld say Jack Robinson swhippel out her eyes and transferred dhem to tue vacant holes in the head of his patient with that skill for which he is so justly celebrated. As for the woman, she was enraptured when she found that, though in q dark room, she could see as well as with the light of thousand lamps The fame Of the doctor spread far and wide after this, nor was it lesseued when amOnth later Mrs. o B., leaped into the river after big water-rats and was drowned.
 FREE TRADE.-The reduction of internal revenue and the taking of of revenue stamps from Proprietary Medicines, no doubt has largely benefited the consumers, as well as relieving the burden of home manufacturers. Especia' ly is this the case with Greens August F over and Boschee's German Syrup, as the reduction of thirty-six cents per dozen, has been added to increase the size of the bottles containing these remedies, thereby giving one-ffth more medicine in the 75 cent size. The August Flower for D. spepsia and Liver Complaint, and the German Syrup for Cough and Lung Troubles, have, perhaps, the largest sale of any medicines in the world. The ad- vantage f increased size of the bottles will be greatly appreciated by the sick and afiict- ed, in every town and village in civilized countries. Sample bottle for 10 cents remain the same size.

III the choierxsopens business in

time immigration we're restricted.
Every day ship-loads of dirty,
lousy, sinking. diseased paupers
are brought over to Castle Garden
and dumped down on our shores.
A few days ago ship-load came
from Palermo where the cholera is
raging, and the ship was only quar-
entined "A hours, when the mass of
reeking, filthy, fonl-smelling immi-
grants, who had nothing IN the
world but their baggage and a few
pieces of coin were turned loose in
New York.
Inside oil thirty days the cholera
will have foothold in the United
States, and once here it will travel
with stronger tread than the
march of empire.
1t will come along with the pau
per immigration that now plaques
US. This ci.rss of immigration must
be prohibited entirely and forever.
No man should be allowed to land

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent. ]

/ irlofn our IcSueH eotreeponocnt.I
| WASHINGTON, October 22.-There
is only an imaginary line that sepa-
rates the District on the North and
East from the State of Maryland
and as consequence her political
squabbles crowd closely upon the
very Capitol On the South, only
the Potomac separates us from the
boiling, seething cauldron of Vir-
ginia politics. So we are placed
just now between these two hot
fires of a fierce campaign and must
of necessity absorb some OF its en-
thusiasism. The headquarters of
both States unfortunately center
here, and just at this time one
would hardly suppose that there
were any other States in the Union
but Maryland and Virginia. The
hotels are crowded with politicians
of these States, of both sides, who
monopolize public attention, and ex-
patiate wonderfully on the import
ance of this election. The fight In
Maryland is simply to break mp the
German ring and rebuke the ADJ
ministration; in Virginia mere
scramble for place between the
sins" and souts'. Let the cleo
tons result as they may, they
should have but little influence in
National politics when circumscribe
by such narrow limits.
And now a move is on foot to
give the President grand reception
ON his return home. Ike collect
ors are among the Office holders re-
ceiving such contributions as s'seem-
eth good" and many q poor fellow
is throwing in "V" that rightfully
belongs to his grocer or landlord.
But how can he refuse? The reins
are held tight and Mr.. Clerk must
come down, Though he knows aud
feels that the whole thing is a con-
sumate humbug. The money will
be raised the grand demonstration
will take place; the papers will be
filed with glowing accounts, and
Frances and Grover will ride up the
Avenue in . chariot of flaming fire.
For what reason no one knows.
Such blind -servitude is a sad CON-
ment on American intelligence as
represented here officially, and
ought to be most sternly rebuked
from all quarters of the land. A
more stupendous farce was never
conceived.
-Four territories, Montana, Utah,
Washington, and Dakota, will ask
Congress to admit them as States
this Winter. The Congressional
Delegates from each of these ter
ritories will come on with an over
whelming mass of facts and figures
to substantiate the claim for State
hood. Washington and Dakota
have already opened headquarters
and are going to make things lively
with a good prospect of winning.
Secretary Bayard of the State De-
partment, and Attorney General |
Garland, are both excellent men,
but are subject to passion like most |
OF us mortals. Real hard words |
passed between them the other |
day, about the release of certain |
British vessels, in Alaskan waters, |
and Mr.. Bayard says he will tell the
President when he gets home, and |
il the President don't side with him, |
he will pack up his books and |
leave school. Garland says little,
but can make up an awful face.
And thus the matter stands, and no
one knows whether it will lead to
Cabinet rupture or not.
